Hello. i'm not Moslem but want to be reasonably covered up when i work out. Does anyone know of a site - that ships to the UK - where one can buy sports skirts, longer sleeved tops, etc? Also, i am trying to find a beyond-elbow length sports tee that has a built in bra / shelf. Again, any steers greatly appreciated.

    I'm in the US, and since I "run hot" my problem is finding shirts with LESS cloth :lol: . I've never had a problem finding regular long sleeve T shirts - perhaps what you want is 3/4 sleeve? I see that as a filter option on several sites. I've seen tank tops with built in bras - if you don't have any luck getting that with long sleeves, then layer.

    Since I'm in the US, I'm going to recommend Amazon. Do read reviews to make sure items are true to size and check size charts. Some Asian brands run ridiculously small. I just ordered a cap sleeve T from Amazon from Ellos, which I understands runs large. I spent a lot of time with a tape measure and a size chart, and ordered one size smaller than usual.

    I did a search for "women's long sleeve t with bra" and found this:

    https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Modal-Cotton-Pajamas-Sleeve/dp/B0BG8TCP9N/

    Results for "women's 3/4 sleeve t shirt with bra:"

    https://www.amazon.com/s?k=women's+3/4+sleeve+t+shirt+with+bra&crid=1Y8COVJQ91E23&sprefix=women's+3/4+sleeve+t+shirt+with+bra,aps,104&ref=nb_sb_noss I don't see any that do include bras, but see a variety of sleeve lengths. You can further filter by "Athletic." Unlike other sites, Amazon does not appear to have a filter for sleeve length.

    Check the return policy - I get free shipping and returns from Amazon - and let me know if you do or do not.

    Thank you! You went over and above in helping me - i appreciate that. i shall take a look at those links you provided.

    i don't run any longer as i have a chronic condition now but when i did run, i ran cold. It meant i ran 'over' my pace until my hands were hot then i could relax to my 'proper' pace. And i could only ever run when the outside temperature was lowish. Running in summer was - even in England - more of an errand than a joy. Actually i don't miss it.

    Thanks once again x
